Get The Inbuilt Mileage—
-14,000,000.cars in the United States today are wearing
out 56,000,000 Tires.
Less than half of the owners of these cars pay income
tax.
These owners must economize in order to operate cars.
One of the largest items of expense is tires. It certainly is
not economy to throw away a tire until it has delivered all
its inbuilt mileage—regardless of the first cost of the tire.

PRODUCER OF “HUNCH
BACK” PAYS STAR A
REMARKABLE TRIBUTE
The most remarkable tribute paid
by a producer to an actor, ami one that
gives “a glance behind the scenes,” Is
contained in an open letter written by
the president of Universal, the pro
ducers of “The Hunchback of Notre
Dame,” which shows at the Rivoli
Theatre next Wednesday and Thurs
day.
“It’s a pity that all the millions of
people who will see Lon Chaney’s per
formance in ‘The Hunchback of Notre
Dame,’ can’t know the real Chaney as
I know him.
“Amazing, incredible, almost super
human as the performance is, it can
not be fully appreciated without a
personal knowledge of Chaney him
self. Picture a fine, upstanding young
man with soft eyes, a low voice and a
smile that would win a Sphinx. Ath
letic in build, but with a gentleness
that is found only in a true gentleman.
Chaney is the most decided opposite
of the character that he plays in this
Victor Hugo masterpiece. This de
formed, hating, animal-like hunch
back, is as much unlike the real Lon
Chaney as it is possible for the human
mind to imagine.
“Nothing but the divine spark of
genius could enable Chaney to trans
form himself so absolutely. No such
are has ever been seen on either stage
or screen. I predict it will live for
ages. But you can judge all that for
yourself when you see what I consider
the greatest production any studio
ever made—a view in which the most
prominent critics of the country have
endorsed unqualifiedly.
“Chaney helped us cut the produc
tion. Not satisfied with having given
the greatest portrayal in history, he
wanted the whole picture to be per
fect, including even the scenes in
which he did not appear. So day
after day, night after night, after he
was off the Universal payroll and af
ter his contract with us had been com
pleted, he worked on the production.
“Actor, business man, gentleman,
in unspoiled success, whose genius is
so all-prevading that it smothers the
pettiness of ‘temperament,’ so com
mon in art. Student, regular fellow,
that’s Lon Chaney.
“So, when you see him as ‘Quasimo
do,’ the hunchback, you’ll know what
it is that shines through his grotesque,
make-up and floods your whole being
with a full light.”
MOTHERS DAT LETTER
FROM JULIAN MADDOX
The following letter attracted our
attention, and we asked permission
to publish same. The writer of it is
one of Douglas’ best known boys, now
making good at Mercer. He expects
to be a preacher, and no doubt will
attain his honorable ambition. He
has always been a good boy, and the
sentiment expressed in this letter to
his mother, Mrs. H. T. Maddox, of
this city, written on Mothers Day,
bears out this opinion. The letter
follows:
“Mercer U.
Sunday, Mothers Day.
To the best Mother in the World: •
The least thing that I can do on
this Mother’s Day is to write her a
long, long letter,—the most that I can
ever do is to live the kind of life that
will honor her in the highest sense of
the word! 1 realize that this is im
possible for me to do, but when I think
of what my mother has taught me, I
realize that I can live by Christ’s help
the life that will best honor her. I’m
not what I ought to be, I know that, I
lack many things which I should
possess—that is my fault, not yours.
What I will be in life depends upon
me now, because you have done the
best you could for me—no one could
ask more. 1 feel that it was given to
one who was unworthy of such sac
rifice.
When a young man comes to college
his visions and ideals change, and
they should, but they must be found
ed upon the fundamental principles
of Jesus Christ, which his mother has
tried to instill in him. This you have
tried to do, and I hope that in later
